Question 525769
Is the question:
" How far does the END of the minute hand travel?"
If so, use the formula for the circumference with
radius = 6 in
{{{ C = 2*pi*r }}}
{{{ C = 2*pi*6 }}}
{{{ C = 12*pi }}}
This would be for 360 degrees, or 60 minutes for the minute hand.
distance in 20 minutes would be {{{ (20/60)*12*pi = 4*pi }}} in
------------
The arc swept in 20 min is
{{{ (20/60)*360 = 120 }}} degrees
